HOW IT WORKS
NeuroVizr is a multi sensory light/sound brain enrichment technology.
The Neurovizr LED
The NeuroVizr LED panel produces three simultaneous dimensions of light messaging to create a powerful and a mesmerizing experience. MACRO patterning, MESO body pulsing and cascades of MICRO flickering produce a satisfying First Language brain interaction.

NeuroVizr™ HARDWARE
The physical design of the LEDs maximizes the optometric requirements for a unique type of MACRO pattern stimulation of the central and autonomic nervous systems. When inspecting the NeuroVizr™ hardware headset, it is immediately obvious that the LEDs have a unique configuration and placement away from the eyes. The design is very much unlike conventional “Mind Machine” Brain Entrainment devices, both current and historically, that use goggles/eyeglass frames. This distinct design is an expression of highly specific optometric parameters required to successfully apply so-called MACRO stimulation patterns and movements of the LED light signaling. In simplicity, the horizontal and vertical (H/V) limits must match the H/V of the average human visual field and present a normative binocular vision spectrum. This same H/V parameter set is well-known in Virtual Reality devices and applications. These MACRO LED signal positions and movements are known to affect the autonomic nervous system in relation to either sympathetic excitation or parasympathetic sedation, as well as various cognitive functions such as memory and visual/auditory imagination.
NeuroVizr™ TRIPLE SIGNAL DYNAMICS
The NeuroVizr™ utilizes three integrated types of light signaling simultaneously, resulting in unusually rich and meaningful brain information messaging. The three are MACRO, MESO, and MICRO.
MACRO
The MACRO signals involve specific LED activity in terms of various static positions on the LED template and various moving patterns. Such static/moving patterns have a generalized effect on the nervous system and create a foundational disposition in the neurological responses to the overall signaling.
MESO
The MESO signaling refers to an exceptional range of LED “pulsing” rates (to be distinguished from the MICRO “flickering” rates). Advancing neurological research increasingly recognizes that physiological oscillatory rates throughout the human body express themselves in rhythms that ideally constitute an overall “resonance.” Therefore, brain wave oscillations will exist in harmonic relationship to many more somatic oscillations throughout the soma or body. Heart rate, breathing rates, cerebral-spinal pulsations, peristaltic contractions, and so on seek resonance with the ideal goal of coherence. Think of MESO pulses as music rhythms you can dance to. Let’s face it; no one can dance to the “flicker” brain wave rates.
MICRO
The LEDs also turn off and on (flicker) at rates within a second. These MICRO signals have fine-tuning effects on brain messaging. Microcontrollers can easily manage such rates, constituting the MICRO level of the NeuroVizr™ TRIPLE SIGNAL DYNAMICS. Such MICRO signaling has a compositional set point that enables different “strengths” in the flicker by adjusting the “duty cycle” of each flicker. Furthermore, series sequencing and four rates of change play a critical role in the effects of the MICRO flicker signals. The effects can be reasonably compared to the core significance of sound compositional structures common to all musical styles and genres.
COMBINING MACRO-MESO-MICRO
The ability to compose and adjust three distinct yet integrated levels of light signaling simultaneously yields a unique and vibrant visual messaging experience. Each group of light signaling is effective in its own right, so when combining them, the information output is drastically enhanced, much like combining three musical instruments into a jazz ensemble.
NeuroVizr® app
Paired with the VIZR™, the NeuroVizr® app delivers a unique blend of brain exercise wrapped in captivating entertainment. Using innovative light and sound experiences, it’s more than a leisurely distraction—it’s a gateway to enhanced cognitive function.
Setting itself apart, NeuroVizr® introduces “Brain Engagement,” a fresh approach to neuroplasticity. Unlike traditional Brain Entrainment, which syncs the brain to repetitive signals, Brain Engagement provides dynamic information, priming the brain for adaptability and prediction. It’s a cutting-edge step forward in brain technology, merging entertainment with cognitive growth.
Mind States
Sessions intentionally designed with a specific theme, purpose, or intent. These sessions can serve as “Help Right Now” stimulation to generate positive short-term Mind STATES while also establishing a solid foundation for positive long-term Mind TRAITS through neuroplastic changes in the brain.
These sessions are designed to coax your brain into certain “Probability States” of mind
Think of the experiences as “brain exercise disguised as entertainment”. To get the most benefit, do some of the Guided Breathing both before and after the Light/Sound experience.
Like any exercise, some regularity generates the best results.
Our brain is physical just as our entire body. In a way, it is strange to discuss the brain as though it is separate from the soma/body. So much of what we know about the wellness of our soma/body also applies to our brain. Our soma needs a variety of activities in order to perform at a higher level of efficiency. So does our brain.
To keep it simple, let’s consider the brain and mind to be a unified expression. Different brain states and different mind states have an intimate relationship. The sessions found in the Mind States Collection explore this relationship with experiences of integrated light and sound brain signaling. Each session is designed with a particular intent, theme or purpose (technically called a “vector”). Consider a simple analogy – a musician decides to compose an instrumental song – no lyrics, not even a title. The musician has a certain “intention” as to what sort of feeling he/she wants to express – perhaps sadness. The listener, when hearing the song (without any explanation from the musician) will likely have the “feeling” or emotion of sadness or grief grow as they listen to the “sad song”. Technically, this sad song is just a collection of notes, rhythms, pitches, timbres and so on – yet it can successfully conjure up a “feeling state” that is not the result of thinking or ideas.
There no guarantee that the listener will experience “sadness” but it is very “probable” that they will do so. This principle is true of all of the sessions in the Mind States Collection. Each session is built upon neurological light/sound signaling that has the ability to generate “probability states”. These experiences will cause a short term and temporary Mind STATE. Over time and if repeated, the brain will learn more how to rest in this STATE and slowly begin to create a long term and learned Mind TRAIT. as a result of actual neuroplastic change in the brain. So, the sessions in Mind States can be used as “Help Right Now” stimulation for positive short term Mind STATES as well as laying the foundation for positive long term Mind TRAITS.
1) How do I know which session to use?
Understandably, the menu of Mind State sessions can look like a box of assorted chocolates (personally, I don’t like the coconut ones). You will notice that the sessions are divided into “themes”. Start there. You can be attracted by a need you have or simply what looks interesting. Other than the theme category, the actual session name and little description is pretty helpful in making a choice. Keep in mind that all the Mind States sessions are offered in two versions – the Standard and the Lite. The Lite version is similar in effects to the Standard version but the challenge aspect is toned down to make for an easier “ride” for some users. All good.
2) Is the experience the same for every person?
It is good to consider the “probability state” concept. For example, you watch a comedy movie and have a big laugh. For you, it is very humorous, even hilarious so you recommend it to a friend. There is no guarantee they will find it as funny as you – there is just a “probability” of a similar response. Even for you, the same movie may not be as funny again because it also depends on your mood at the time.
3) I felt kind of dizzy at the end of the session. Is that OK?
The light/sound experience takes place within your brain which is a big difference from our normal open eyes and ears sensory habits. When the light/sound ends is actually the beginning of an important phase of neurological integration. Please give your brain a little time to begin to “digest” this dynamic information. Including some Guided Breathing at the end of the light/sound is a huge benefit as well. If no breathing, simply give time to feel your entire body and let your awareness merge with all the body sensations. The main reason for dizziness is rushing out of the light/sound experience too quickly.
1) Can my day/night rhythms be moved back to natural cycles?
Our Circadian Cycle is deeply embedded in our physiology. It can be slowly disrupted in a negative way and also slowly adjusted in positive ways. So, yes your rhythms can move back to healthy natural cycles. One way is with proper exposure to different aspects of light. Another way is to coax the brain using certain brain frequency stimulations. Combining both light and brain signals can have a great effect in resetting your Circadian Cycle.
2) I heard that I should avoid all bright light in the evening. Is that true?
In general yes but not absolutely. Red light doesn’t much disturb the melatonin sensitive responses in our brain which kick into action around 10 to 11 pm. Surprisingly, research claims that short exposures to bright light between 7 and 9 pm can actually increase the sleepy state later in the evening.
3) How long will it take for my sleep to improve using these sessions?
Not one absolute answer to that very reasonable question. Some people report a very quick response – even the first night after a session which is surprising. Test it out more slowly and experiment accordingly. Sleep problems can have a variety of causes. Notice that the Better Sleep sessions are separated into different styles of influence and recommended at different times of the day and evening. Using common sense about caffeine, exercise and stressful behaviors is highly recommended.
4) Am I supposed to fall asleep when I do the Sessions?
In general, the Better Sleep sessions are used as part of an effort to harmonize your Circadian Cycle. The result is a more satisfyingly regular sleep experience. People may fall asleep in a session if they are already fatigued or sleep deprived. Many of us don’t realize how fatigued we are because we operate that way much of the time. Caffeine use is good indicator of underlying fatigue. With underlying fatigue a person may easily fall asleep during a light/sound session.
Neuro Composer
Because light-based brain signaling has never been done like this before, an entirely original and unique Light Composer software had to be created. Crafting three layers (MACRO, MESO, MICRO) of light messaging has moved us closer and closer to shaping light in a manner similar to how a synthesizer shapes sound.”
The Change Maker
The NeuroVizr™ is The Change Maker because it is designed to “exercise” and stimulate the natural adaptive neural capacities of the brain that are characteristic of positive neuroplastic Change dynamics. It is primarily a Bottom-Up source of information that builds and modifies compounded Top-Down predictive patterns. Essentially, when old patterns do not match new challenges, the brain must abandon those patterns and develop new ones. You may call it Change. Or Adaptation. Or Growth. Or Learning. When you make a Change, you have a Chance to make a Choice.
